TITLE FOR AGENDA ITEM:

TITLE

Ordinance amending Whatcom County Code 8.10, Solid Waste and Residential Recycling Collection

 

BODY

SUMMARY STATEMENT OR LEGAL NOTICE LANGUAGE:

 

Whatcom County Code 8.10, Solid Waste and Residential Recycling Collection, specifies a service level for curbside solid waste and residential recycling services that encourage recycling and waste reduction services. The service provider has modified its collection method within the City of Bellingham from source-separated recycling to a single-stream recycling system. Current code requires source separated recyclables and is not consistent with current industry practice. Whatcom County Code 8.10 is being amended to reflect the City of Bellingham collection process.
